Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This paper takes a critical and evaluative stance toward micro-activity-based approaches to understanding strategy. It argues that such approaches bring with them important theoretical and empirical challenges. The paper argues against a tendency to reductionism without equal emphasis to the contextual influences that bound micro-strategising. Finally, the paper argues for a more international and comparative approach to micro-strategy studies than has currently been the case.

This paper engages with the epistemological foundations of and current developments in the canon of strategic management.

Keyword: competitive advantage , fragmentation , integration , paradigm , Strategy , strategy synthesis

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

The strategy field is replete with competing prescriptions and directives with regard to successful performance. Although integration should be pursued more vigorously from an academic standpoint, in this paper it is argued that real progress in the strategy field requires synthesis. Attempts at integration often lead to theoretical frameworks that are relatively disconnected from urgent problems in strategic management. In escaping this fragmentation-integration dilemma, several avenues for strategy synthesis are provided. Synthesis does not attempt to develop a single paradigm consisting of universal concepts and laws covering the entire strategic management field. Instead it is anchored in a few clusters of strategic management problems: drawing firm boundaries, developing dynamic capabilities, and finding viable strategy configurations. They are essential future directions in strategy synthesis.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This article identifies an opportunity for European researchers to develop a more practice-sensitive research programme for strategy 'after modernism'. Strategy's intellectual lock-in on modernist detachment and economic theory can now be relaxed. Strategy can draw also on the rich resources of sociology to engage more directly with strategy as a social practice. This article outlines elements of a double agenda for strategy research after modernism: first, a sociological agenda concerned with understanding strategy's elites, its skills and its technologies, and their implications for society as a whole; second, a managerial agenda, turning this sociological understanding to practical advantage in terms of how managers become strategists, how strategy skills are acquired and how strategy technologies can be better designed and used. The article considers implications for research methods and the Mintzbergian tradition in strategy.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This article reviews the legal aspects regarding the share repurchase process, including the recent changes introduced by the CVM Instruction #299, and analyze its impact on minority shareholders. Prior to the introduction of CVM #299, share repurchases could signal that the company would go private. This could expropriate the minority shareholders. We empirically test based on a sample with all share repurchase on Bovespa from January 1994 to June 2002, and confirm that on average the minority shareholders had an accumulated return of -10% within three months after the announcement of share repurchase. After the enactment of the CVM Instruction #299, there was evidence of positive cumulative abnormal returns for the announced share repurchase programs, bringing benefits to minority shareholders.

Keyword: business networks , Buyer-supplier relationship , supply chain management , trust

Document type: Article () Show Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of trust and the effect of specific assets investments over collaborative relationships with suppliers, and also to discuss the moderating effect of the information network on such joint actions. As theoretical foundations, we use transaction cost economics, network perspectives and marketing. In order to verify our four hypothesis, we collected information from the wholesalers and other merchant-distributors in the Dutch flower industry. The results suggest that buyers temper their specific investments to the degree of joint action according to the information that is obtained in the network. The degrees of trust, specific investments and the information from the network facilitate the coordination of a buyer-supplier relationship.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

This paper presents a strategic analysis model for science-based industries in process of innovation and technological development, operating in developing countries. The model is based on five main elements: technological regime; marketing structure; organizational process; knowledge and available resources, and governmental role. It can be applied in both industry and firm level, and aims to support the alignment of innovation strategies to general firm strategy. Applied to the Brazilian vaccines industry, the framework highlighted the Brazilian vaccine manufacturers' limitations in terms of technological regime and organizational processes, as well as the opportunities of market growth.
